Monsters: Angels

Monsters: Angels

From front to back - astral deva, planetar, solar

Angels are powerful good outsiders. Biblical angels have a 9-rank hierarchy, and some of the angels have weird non-humanoid forms. For example, the ophanim are wheels with multiple eyes. But D&D prefers generic-looking humanoid angels.


I do not know if many people have encountered angels in their games, especially as enemies, because the angels are supposed to be the "good guys". Probably, they play the role of mentor/quest-giver/ally NPCs more often than the role of an enemy. I think that a conflict between an angel and a paladin on the basis of different interpretations of a deity's dogma could be interesting.
